screwgreen Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Okay so I finally hooked up my sundown sax1200d just to test it and see if it works. my sub is wired at 4ohms and I wired everything to the amp but it takes over half gain to just make my sub move at all. Sundown Z v.2 sub and yes i know it only puts out 360 watts at 4ohms but it still should be enough to at least sound decent. My settings on amp were: Gain over half way, Subsonic 20, LPF 80, Bass boost 0, Phase 0, and I did not have the bass knob plugged in. Headunit settings are: LPF 80 and sub setting on 0, bass boost 0, sla 4, My regular EQ, and HPF 80. This sub would hit like no other with my kenwood 500wattrms amp at 4ohms. When i plug the sundown in, it takes over half gain just to move the sub at all. Quote PSI and Sundown audio FTW!! 2001 F150 crewcab Sundown z12v.2 on a sax1200d! 1/0 welding wire!

C-Fizzy Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Your sub setting should be at max on your headunit.

extremeauto Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) you are also only running a 4 ohm load so it is not getting very much power ....wire it to 2 or 1 ohm and it should move just fine Edited December 27, 2011 by extremeauto Quote 1995 Honda passport 3.2 4x4 Frankenstein on a budget ballistics sound deader (roof only so far) kenwood mp3 usb audio control 3 (upgrading) hifonics mx-3 3 sets of massive px5 5.25s 3 sets of massive tweets phonix gold 5.25 componets x2 massive nx4 nano 200x4 mids sony xplod 600x4 watt high's 2 Fi bl fully loaded box walled @31ish hz 13.2 cube box/wall massive DB8000 Excessive amaperge 250 amp alt wir extrnl regulator daul runs of xs power xpflex 0 gauge big 3 raptor 0 gauge power/ground wire full run suriken 45 amp hour x3 shriken bt-120 batts,interstate 1100CA semi batt scytek galaxy 2way alarm still upgradeing!

screwgreen Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 you are also only running a 4 ohm load so it is not getting very much power ....wire it to 2 or 1 ohm and it should move just fine Yeah i know this is true but I had it on a 250 watt rockford amp at one time and it moved just fine. Now it takes 1/2 gain or more just to even move the sub at all. Quote PSI and Sundown audio FTW!! 2001 F150 crewcab Sundown z12v.2 on a sax1200d! 1/0 welding wire!

armykyle1 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 do you have it phased out? double check your filters. HU is a pioneer?

screwgreen Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 yeah, my headunit is pioneer 3200ub. and phase is at 0 on amp. Sub sounded fine with my kenwood 500wattrms and rockford 250wattrms. I just figured i would plug in the sax1200d just to make sure everything works fine before i change impedance to 1ohm. After I got everything in, just my door speakers would play bass until i got to half gain and then sub comes in. It is very very weak even at 1/2 gain.
